Talk to your college recruiters about their school's graduation rates. How does the school compare to others in the conference; how does your sport compare to the overall student body; what percentage of student-athletes graduate within 5 years?
A stat to keep in mind. In the late 1990's, the men's basketball team at the Un of Cincinnati graduated....zero student-athletes over a three-year run. That is arguably not good.
When 0.3% of high school basketball players are "drafted" to the NBA and .08% of high school football players are "drafted" to the NFL that college degree (even in philosophy or social studies!) may become important.
